JUST A FORMALITY (via John Beckwith):

Could Blair be on the verge of declaring himself a Catholic? (This is London, 17.05.07)

Tony Blair is preparing to convert to Roman Catholicism after he steps down as Prime Minister, according to a leading cleric.

His long-awaited formal switch to the faith of his wife and family will come shortly after he surrenders office, it is claimed.

The Prime Minister's decision to formalise his Catholic beliefs was revealed by Father Michael Seed, a leading cleric at Westminster Cathedral, when speaking at a memorial service.

He is Catholic, just a matter of announcing it.
